Revealed: The 'hurt and upset' Queen's scathing comment about Harry and Meghan's wedding - and what she REALLY thought about the couple's A-list guest list
The Queen's felt left out and 'hurt' by some of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's plans for their wedding at Windsor Castle and exasperatedly told her cousin: 'But it's my house - and I'm paying for it', it was claimed today. Her Majesty is said to have disapproved of their guestlist and the couple's preference to invite 'random' celebrities over family members in May 2018. 'That was just yet another irritation for the Queen', a seasoned royal expert claimed today. Elizabeth II was also apparently 'really annoyed' the Sussexes went directly to the Archbishop of Canterbury to ask him to marry them at St George's Chapel - even though she was Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England. Harry's grandmother was more excited about Princess Eugenie's wedding in October that year only for the Duchess of Sussex to announce she was pregnant on the day, it was also claimed today. Journalist and royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith has claimed the timing of the Sussexes' happy news had been 'rude'. Ms Bedell Smith made the claims as she described her conversations with Her Majesty's late cousin Lady Elizabeth Anson, who spoke to the Queen daily towards the end of her life. The monarch was 'upset' at not being fully involved in Harry and Meghan's wedding plans in the months and weeks beforehand, Sally said in a new podcast. Her cousin Lady Elizabeth Anson tried to console her by telling her she could 'look forward' to Royal Ascot and Princess Eugenie 's wedding. However, the Queen replied: 'But it's my house. And I'm paying for it'. The late monarch was said to have been peeved about the couple's decision to put A-listers and 'random' celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney on the guestlist over family members. The Royal Family paid for the wedding, including the service, music, flowers and reception. All 600 guests were invited to a lunchtime reception at St George's Hall, hosted by the Queen followed by an evening bash for 200 VIPs at Frogmore House, hosted by Harry's father. But Harry and Meghan had invited people that 'barely knew' knew them and the Royal Family, it was claimed today. Born in Windsor Castle, Lady Elizabeth, a great-niece of the Queen Mother and a goddaughter of King George VI, was a high-society party planner known as Liza to friends and family. The Queen's first cousin arranged the Queen's 80th birthday party and planned society weddings for more than 50 years. Sally Bedell Smith told American royal commentator Kinsey Schofield's Unfiltered YouTube show: 'Harry and Meghan just disinvited or didn't invite a whole group of family and cousins. The children of the Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and of the Gloucesters. 'She [Meghan] and Harry just "exed" them out of the guest list and they added all these other random people who barely even knew the Royal Family. That was just yet another irritation for the Queen'. 'So she was predisposed to be very fond of him, to love him, and I think it was a real shock for her when he began treating her discourteously after he and Meghan got together', Sally said. Lady Elizabeth comforted her in their daily phone calls by saying she could really look forward to Eugenie's wedding. She told the Queen: "This is going to be your family wedding. And it was it was because Harry and Meghan had they invited people they barely knew'. She told the Queen: "Just concentrate on Royal Ascot and then concentrate on the real family wedding in October". MailOnline has asked a spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to comment. She died five years ago at the age of 79 and was the Queen's confidante later in life, affectionately calling the monarch 'Jemima' and her 'Number One Lady'. Ms Bedell Smith revealed earlier this year on her popular Substack what Liza claimed Queen Elizabeth II herself thought of the Sussexes and their behaviour. Meghan was apparently 'full of charm' and appeared 'natural, intelligent, and thoughtful' after she became engaged to Harry in 2017. But as the wedding approached, Meghan allegedly became increasingly 'bossy' and Liza said the Queen was privately 'very worried'. Ms Bedell Smith wrote: 'When we spoke two weeks before the May 19 wedding, Liza had just heard from the Queen. 'The Number One Lady—I call her Jemima—says the jury is out on whether she likes Meghan,' said Liza. 'My Jemima is very worried.' In Liza's view, 'Harry is besotted and weak about women. We hope but don't quite think she is in love. We think she engineered it all.' Liza apparently said: 'It's worrying that so many people are questioning whether Meghan is right for Harry. The problem, bless his heart, is that Harry is neither bright nor strong, and she is both'. The cracks apparently appeared in February 2018. Liza claimed Harry wrote to her and said that his grandmother was 'content' with the way the wedding plans were coming along. But Sally Bedell Smith wrote that Liza had said: 'When I spoke with the Queen, she said she is not at all content'. Ms Bedell Smith wrote: 'According to Liza, the Queen was dismayed that Harry had asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to perform the wedding service in St. George's Chapel without first requesting permission from the Dean of Windsor. 'Harry seems to think the Queen can do what she wants, but she can't,' said Liza. 'On the religious side, it is the Dean of Windsor's jurisdiction.' As a result, Liza said that 'Harry has blown his relationship with his grandmother. She said she was really upset. I was shocked when the Queen told me this, how she was so saddened. I had no idea about the conversation, that he was rude to her for ten minutes. They had tea with her the day before yesterday. She was trying to find out about the wedding dress, and Meghan wouldn't tell her.'.' Liza at this point predicted that Meghan could 'turn into nothing but trouble', remarking that the Suits actress 'sees things in a different way'. Following these February rows, towards the end of April, Liza claimed that 'the Queen and Harry have patched things up'. Harry apparently visited her alone to smooth things over and later wrote to with more wedding details. Sally Bedell Smith wrote: 'Liza also said that Meghan's father, Thomas Markle, was 'frightened of coming to the wedding.' I asked her if Meghan was being bossy. 'So I gather,' Liza replied, 'Very much so.' 'My Jemima is very worried', Liza apparently added. She also said ominously: 'The wedge between the brothers is really too bad'.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts now. Thomas Markle did not attend the wedding due to health problems. Harry's father walked her down the aisle. Meghan threw herself into royal duties with her husband and then fell pregnant. Sally Bedell Smith wrote on her Substack: 'By late February 2019 when Liza and I spoke on the phone, she said 'I don't trust Meghan an inch. To begin with, she was not bad—a straightforward starlet, used to public speaking and charity work. The wedge between the brothers is really too bad.'.' At that time the Queen would visit her cousin for dinner at her London home but an increasingly frail Prince Philip would stay at home. Liza became ill with lung cancer but continued to work despite breathing problems and spent time with the Queen, who made her a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order - an honour only given to those who have given outstanding personal service to a British monarch. She died in November 2020. MailOnline has asked a spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to comment. Lady Elizabeth Anson was born at Windsor Castle during World War II and with King George VI as a godfather, she grew up surrounded by, and on first name terms with, the royals. Lady Elizabeth was also royally connected (her mother, a Bowes-Lyon, was a niece of the Queen Mother) but she was also one of the Queen's closest friends. When she married, the then 20-year-old Princess Anne was a bridesmaid, and her society cameraman brother Patrick (the Earl of) Lichfield, who gave her away, was — along with the Earl of Snowdon — the royals' go-to photographer. For almost 60 years she presided over London's party scene with a ruthless efficiency. From royalty to celebrity her business, Party Planners, organised the capital's best and most lavish celebrations. She first decided to be a party planner when she was 17. She was working as a receptionist at the Hyde Park Hotel in London, but she fell down a flight of stairs and injured herself. The fall meant she needed to find a job that would enable her to work from home, and was inspired at having to organise her own debutante party when she realised she could make a living from planning celebrations. Her first event was for the late Queen Mother. 'She was hosting a party for one of her godchildren,' Lady Elizabeth previously told Mail on Sunday. 'I remember charging very little and receiving a letter from the Queen Mother telling me to double the invoice.' She hosted bashes for everyone from Baroness Thatcher and Sir Mick Jagger, to Tom Cruise and Bill Clinton. Weddings were a speciality: there was pop star Sting's to Trudie Styler to the slightly more reserved nuptials for Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece (to heiress Chantal Miller). When Prince William married Kate Middleton in 2011, the Queen asked her to organise a party for all the visiting royal guests. By then she was a veteran of royal party planning. No palace event, it seemed, was complete without input from Lady Elizabeth. She arranged the Queen's 80th birthday party and that to mark the 50th anniversary of her coronation. In April 2021, the Queen

Binky Felstead shows off her toned frame in a colourful bikini during her family summer holiday to Sweden
Binky Felstead looked incredible in an eye-catching bikini as she enjoyed a day on the beach with her family during their summer getaway to Sweden. The former Made In Chelsea star, 35, showed off her toned frame and washboard midriff in the colourful high-waisted two-piece. Binky's snaps was from a beach day with her brood, as the mother of three accessorised her look with a gold necklace and shades. The reality star had enjoyed a dip in the sea judging by her salt-kissed locks, before returning to soak up the rays on their picnic blankets. She is away with her husband Max Fredrik Darnton, 35, and their sons Wolfie, four, and Wilder, two, as well as her daughter India, eight, who she shares with ex Josh Patterson. Binky has shared a glimpse of the family holiday on her Instagram page, as they hung out by the seaside and went horse riding. The trip comes after Binky opened up about a post-birth health issue which left her 'freaking out' and convinced she would lose her teeth. She was diagnosed with gum disease recently, which was beginning to destroy her bones and needed urgent attention. Binky is a proud mother-of-three and last gave birth in 2023 to a son named Wilder, who is now one. Following her diagnosis, Binky decided to share her story online with her Instagram followers, to spread awareness with other mums. Speaking to The Sun, she said: 'I was really worried about it and I actually only learnt through social media. By the way, hundreds of messages I got from other parents, other women, saying they've got the same. 'I think the old wives tale is that you lose a tooth per child. I don't know, I'm freaking out, I'm not going to have a tooth in ten years.' She added that there's 'lots of not so glamorous things' that happen after giving birth and having children. Binky said she has started having to do her greys, admitting that 'the good outweighs the bad'. She said it's 'important' to have these conversations on social media to normalise it, and that the fact it is common made her feel a lot better about it. Eight years after leaving MIC, Binky says she is 'kind of getting her MOJO back'. Binky is super relatable online with her fans, and always keeps it real. In recent days, she made a 'revolting' confession that she hasn't washed her make-up brush in 10 years during a mother-daughter makeover clip. India can be seen unleashing her creative spark as she layered on the bronzer and lined her mother's lips with a pencil. In the clip Binky confessed: 'Do you know your godfather, Ollie Locke? This was his makeup brush from about ten years ago and I have never washed it since. How revolting is that and I still use it?' India appeared unphased by the revelation and continued to layer on the bronzer until the TV personality persuaded her to stop. Motherhood is a vital part of Binky's life now and along with husband Max she appears to have the perfect fairytale family. She started dating her husband Max Fin January 2019 after they met at Soho Farmhouse and the couple later married in September 2021.
